Architect Sir Terry Farrell yesterday outlined his 20-year strategy to turn Kent into a "21st century garden city" and the most connected county in the country.
Farrell's strategy, commissioned by Kent County Council, seeks to capitalise on the High Speed 1 rail network launched last month that has slashed journey times from the county to central London and the county’s location in the South-East, which Farrell called Europe’s biggest super-region and one of only five super-hubs in the world.
The vision includes building 10,000 new homes in Ebbsfleet, turning the town, which is 17 minutes from London’s St. Pancras International on the new high-speed line, into a business and innovation hub.
It says that by 2030 the unitary authority of North Kent’s Medway – made up of the five towns of Strood, Rochester, Chatham, Gillingham and Rainham should become a city, making it an urban cluster the same size of Newcastle.
